"Mom? Are you still there?"Liam asked after more than two minutes of silence, he checked his phone and the line was still on, his mom was just silent, she must be really in shock."Mom? Say something you are scaring me,""I am here, I am just too stunned to say a word,"She said and then went silent again until he heard his dad's voice in the background asking her what was going on, she must have passed the phone to him because his voice resonated over the phone."Dad, is mom okay?"He asked."Yes, I think so but she is just sitting on the bed and well, I can't say she is fine because she is not saying anything, did something happen?"His dad asked."Nothing, I just told her I am getting surgery and she has been acting all weird, I know she would be shocked but this wasn't what I was expecting at all,""You are getting surgery? Since when? I thought we were no longer talking about it? When did it change? What did I miss?"His dad asked his voice kind of raising above the normal."Dad

Jordan watched Liam sleep, the man must be very tired of him to really be sleeping, Jordan had thought he just wanted to rest and hug him but then he fell asleep almost as soon as they touched the bed, he tried to get off but Liam's hold on him was strong, he took a deep breath and resisted the urge to pinch him, he could tell that he was tired but then what made him tired was what he didn't know, even though he suspected that it might have to go with the rain he entered."He is so beautiful,"He couldn't resist saying, the man was hot even in sleep and he was all his, that thought made him smile, Liam was his and they were going to build a family together, and he could already tell that their kids were going to have great genes because he knew he was hot and Liam was drop-dead gorgeous so yes, their kids are going to be so pretty and he couldn't wait to meet them if everything goes right, hopefully, this time next year, they would meet their little ones, the thought of it made him sm

Liam woke up from his nap feeling refreshed, he reached out for Jordan but he wasn't in bed with him, he opened his eyes, the man must have left when he fell asleep, he got off the bed and walked out of the room, the sleep had helped to ease his fatigue, now he was hungry, he needed food, so the kitchen was his destination."Babe? Babe?"He called looking for Jordan, but he wasn't in the room nor was he in the living room or kitchen."Did he go out?"He asked himself walking to the kitchen, he smelled good and just went straight to the table where food was already set, he didn't bother to think, just say down and started eating, he was halfway done when the door opened, he waited with his spoon held in one hand."Oh, you are already eating, that's good, do drink from the soup too, it will help in case there is still so cold in your system,"Jordan said as he kissed him on his cheek before sitting next to him."Where did you go to?"He asked with a pout."To get this,"Jordan said poin

"What are you thinking about so deeply Liam?"Jordan asked reaching out to touch his hand, they were on their way to his parent's house for the weekend and Liam was so quiet that it got him worried, he had to go to work earlier so they left the house later than they had planned."I don't know, I still feel your parents might not want to see me again after everything that happened, with the way I treated you and all,"He responded."Liam, mom, and dad are the most understanding people ever, I promise they are not going to disapprove of you, never, okay, just don't let it bother you, I am telling you this, they won't judge you,"Jordan responded. There was no need for him to be bothered, Jordan knew his parents enough to know that they won't do what Liam is thinking, his parents were cool people."I am just going to have to take your words for it, but if your dad tries to punch me or your mom tried to hit me with her cooking spoon, don't get in the way okay? It is what I deserve,"Liam

The next morning, Jordan was up early, his mom had told him the night before that they would go for a walk in the morning and he looked forward to it, he quickly took a cold shower knowing he would bath again when he returns, he got out of the shower and put on his working out clothes, after which he went back to the bed and softly kissed Liam before whispering."I love you, Liam, I will be back soon,"He left the room and walked the small distance to his parent's room, but first, he went to the kitchen to get his water bottle, he always gets thirsty when running so he never forgets to take water with him."You are up early young man,"His father said when he entered his parent's room."Yes, mom and I have an early morning date,"He said hugging his dad, who patted his back."Alright, she is in the restroom, I think she is washing her hands,""Okay, "He said and sat down waiting for his mom to come out, she came out a few minutes later."Where is he?"His mom asked. He knew he was re

Liam woke up to an empty room, it took him a while to remember where he was, he looked around but Jordan wasn't in the room, he didn't feel like leaving the bed and just decided to stay put until Jordan shows up, maybe he went to say hi to his parents or went for a walk, he picked up his phone and checked the time, it was still early just a few minutes passed seven am."I am so tired so early, such a weak human,"He scolded himself as he covered his eyes again to fight off leftover sleep, he stayed like that for more than twenty minutes and was finally going to give in and get off the bed when he had Jordan's voice from outside their room."He is here,"He said to himself."Where were you baby?"Liam asked when Jordan finally made an appearance."With Mom,"Jordan responded laying on the bed beside him, Liam reached out and wrapped his arms around him."I got to give it to your mom and dad, they are the best,"Liam said and he meant every word, Jordan's parents just keep surprising hi

"Jordan let's go, we are going to be late!"Liam yelled for Jordan who has been in the room, talking on the phone with someone whom Liam had no idea about, they were supposed to be at the hospital by ten and it was past ten already."I was ready an hour ago young man, you are the one who said I should wait so why are you yelling?"He asked as he sassily came out of the room. Liam pulled him close and hugged him."Don't try to act cute with me I will bite you,"Jordan said pushing him off, he has been in a bad mood since the night before when he had told him no, Jordan had wanted them to go clubbing but Liam hated clubs and the noise so he had said no and Jordan had been pissed at him."Are you still mad at me baby?"He asked walking behind him."Don't talk to me,"Jordan responded."Awe, my baby is finna pissed and I like it,""You crazy man, let's just get you to the hospital, we might want to check if you are okay upstairs,"He said throwing him a look."I am sorry sweetheart, promi

Jordan sat in silence as they drove back home, not as if he didn't have anything to say but he was just worried, he was worried for Liam that he might be pushing himself to do things that he didn't want just to please him and that's not how it should be, he should freely make his decision or better still have the conversation with him that way they could talk about together rather than him doing things Jordan was sure he mostly didn't like, okay he does sometimes, he did so yesterday when he had asked him to go to the club with him, even though it was two different cases."What are you thinking about so deeply that you are frowning so much?"Liam asked him bringing him out of his thoughts."A lot but we will talk when we get home, I don't want us talking while you are driving, I should be the one driving but you are so stubborn,"He accused. Liam never lets him drive, even though he wants to tell him to let him do it, he was worried Liam might think he is doing it because he was looki
